Chinese New Year, Buddy Reading and Racing Liquids

Happy Chinese New Year! This is the year of the monkey.  The monkey is the ninth in the 12 year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. The Years of the Monkey include 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2015, 2028...

Today Mr. Kennedy's grade six class came to our class for buddy reading.  Some of us tried out the Epic book site and posted our thoughts on a padlet.  We decided that this site would make a great Literacy Station so stay tuned!

 During Literacy Stations today, we had the opportunity to try and make an oragami boat using a procedural text.  It was very hard to do!  We ended up watching a video...it was still hard!  Great growth mindset shown as no one quit:)  Another group got to work on a google slideshow about Chinese New Year,  They will be uploading their slideshows to their blogs when they are finished.
In Science, we had the liquid race between ketchup, mustard and syrup.  We predicted which liquid would be the fastest.  Most of us predicted that the syrup would win and...it DID! Some people chose syrup because it is a thinner liquid and would flow down the pan faster than the other two liquids.
